Figure 87.4 is a tree giving some of the design options for improving the performance of an audio
speaker system. is tree has been built by applying a designer’s knowledge of speaker system design.
e heuristic rule set for the top branch is stated as
IF Speaker output (W) increases
AND Distortion
(D) is reduced
AND Positioning
(L) improved
THEN Audio output (O) is improved
No part of the rule set could be rst realized using formal mathematical or algorithmic thinking.
Intuition, leap, common sense, and other terms that describe the human intelligence process must be
applied to commence a solution.
